I have been an registered dental hygienist for over 25 years and have worked for Dr. Fruhling for over 15 of those years. On my off time, I enjoy spending it with my young son, reading and exercising.

Elizabeth – Hygienist

I joined Dr. Fruhling’s office as a dental hygienist in 1996 after graduating from Cerritos College’s Dental Hygiene program. Prior to joining Dr. Fruhling, I was a registered Dental Assistant for 6 years. Over the years, I have built a strong following of loyal clients as a result of my dedication to patient care. Away from the office, I enjoy my family time most of all. I have a loving husband and two young children.
